Do you think that enforcing anti-transgender bathroom laws would infringe on the civil rights of LGBT people? Why or why not?

Best Answer: The bigger problem is that those who consider themselves 'normal thinking' people, believe that LGBT are merely a bunch of deviates that want to rape small children. They are not. They are people just like themselves. And they will panic when a guy in a dress is in the Men's bathroom-or vice versa-based on the laws that are being made now anyway.

Let the person who identifies as a male, female, etc. use the bathroom of their choice and drop the issue. It will fade from the public concern.

I just don't want to see anything in the bathroom which looks like it belongs in the other. No transvestite looking individuals. If you are transsexual, I better not notice you. And you better not come on to me without telling what you are. I like to make my own decisions about whom I fall in love with. It does not matter if you are attractive, it is not the libido which decides what I should do. You don't get to decide what I do. It is the mind that ultimately decides what should be done. And there is in the book of equality there is nothing objectively better about transsexuals. So it is a combination of intellect and instinct that decide. I decide in the end what I do based on intellectual and instinctual appreciation, and assessment of myself what I want.

Ultimately transgender people exist, and no amount of legislation that makes life harder for them is going to stop them from existing. Transgender people make a very small fraction of the human population though, so it's likely if you are to implement a policy that allows trans people to use the bathroom of the gender they identify with, it's not going to make much difference. It just means that once in a blue moon a trans woman may enter the women's restroom, urinate, wash her hands, then leave. It's really not asking an awful lot of society at all to allow trans people to use the bathroom of the gender they identify with. If society are unwilling to make this compromise, then the only alternative is we get rid of gender segregated bathrooms. Trans people need to be accommodated somehow. Just because they are a minority doesn't mean they don't deserve rights, especially when their rights are to the detriment of no other person's right,.. and no cis women feeling "uncomfortable" with trans women using the same bathroom as them is not the same as women having their rights infringed on. Quite frankly nobody has the right to feel comfortable or safe in the public sector.. and they have no particular reason to feel uncomfortable or unsafe around trans women. The only reason they do is because of the rights fear mongering and demonizing of trans people.

Yes. It might not seem like a big deal to people who aren't transgender, or don't know any transgender people, but this bathroom issue is a human rights issue. Trans people have just as much right as anyone else to exist in public spaces.
